[ This is Nash. He has a pleasant but lazy expression. ]

I don't like to live in the past. It makes me feel old. But when a thought eats at you, sometimes the only thing you can do is take a bite, right?

Anyway, a few weeks ago something the Initiative did put people in their wrong bodies. I don't mean to drudge up bad memories, but— think about it. What are we, really? Hands, feet, fingers, eyes?

We've all got bodies, but souls? [ He shakes his head. ] Not for me to say.

But if the Initiative can keep our fingers and toes and move the rest around, it means there has to be something else, right? And whatever that something else is, the Initiative can mess with it it.

[ The implications are spooky, so he takes a moment to be spooked. And then waves that all away, shrugging. ]

You ever stop to think, and not know how to start up again?

I've met some people who really make you wonder.

I don't think I want to go to your world ever. I've met some really nasty people, but they all still had souls.

[latkje]

[ He shrugs, opening up his hands. ]

My world's the only world I've got.

[pabulously]

You've got this one here!

[latkje]

Well, that's the problem. I haven't really got it.

[pabulously]

.......I'm not following.

[latkje]

This world. I haven't got a clue how it works. It's not mine to have.

[pabulously]

But you're here. That kind of makes this place your world by default, doesn't it? I mean, it's home for now.

[latkje]

I don't believe that home is so easy to escape from.

But then, I guess I couldn't leave this place if I wanted.
